71 Responses to Blake Lively In Marchesa – BAFTA Brits To Watch Event

I think there is too much fabric on this dress, and would prefer some waist definition. That said, I do think she upstaged the Duchess because this gown had some interesting beading. I love the color combination and it compliments her skin tone. Not a fan of her hairdo, though – I don’t care for that messy look.

I also see a leg there! Is the skirt transparent or am I making things up?

What can I say? It’s the Marchesa effect. So much of their stuff is tacky… If it wasn’t for getting in with Harvey Weinstein, I’m not sure many of them would wear it on the RC. Dita is the exception, tho. She can make even Marchesa work.

As much as I respect your opinion and your perspective FC, I sadly am going to have to disagree with you on this one. She looks really tacky and I will not compare her to other Hollywood stars that are famous for no reason that pop into my head when I see this look, but the fake tan really does ruin this look which is a huge shame because it could’ve been an amazing, breath-taking and a beautiful look. She would’ve looked like a goddess without the tan. I’m not sure if it’s fake or not, but it does destroy the ethereal feel that the model had.

Even with the big career, covers, and A list BF, I am still gettng a Lauren Conrad from the hills look. Sometimes , I even think she is the girl ( s ) of that show the hills. She does not look like a movie star. She looks like a reality TV star, similar to Aubry O day and the rest them on MTV. Even Paris Hilton’s blonde tan combo resonates more star quality that her.

I like the dress around the chest and the shoulder but I don’t like the skirt. It’s a bit unshaped. I also think that she shouldn’t have worn earrings. They are unnecessary and don’t add anything to the look. Maybe if she tried something smaller.
Love her hair and make-up.

i personally think she looks great. whether shes sticking to a formula or not, doesnt relli matter to me as she looks great. at least, shes not sticking to same old looks. i do feel at times some are biased in their views of her. give her break. shes young and has a long way to go… to each their own… its jus a personal opinion… fantastic gerl!

Its a no for me, dont like dress length and her tan/make up was a wrong choice, obviouslygoing for a laid back vibe but blake just never pulls that of for me. Bit if an overstatement to say she nearly upstaged kate!

i completely agree with this. the chanel toga look found itself truly striking. it’s like she’s trying to re-create that moment here. also, it worked better at the met because it’s a more “fashion” event. she should’ve went more traditionally glamorous here.

I love this dress. Is this the best possible outing the dress could have gotten, probably not, but Blake looks lovely. My favorite rendition of this style of dress was when J Lo wore mint green Valentino (which was a copy of a Jackie Kennedy dress) to the Oscars.http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/83369289/WireImage

Now that I think more and more about it, it doesn’t look so bad on Blake. On her it looks like a beach cover-up or a maxi dress which matches her tan, but I didn’t think it would look like that on the red carpet since it looked so elegant on the model. Okay, but not in the way that I was hoping for.

Usually with Blake Lively, I find I’m not a fan of what she’s wearing, but she’s so gorgeous and perfectly proportioned that it doesn’t matter. This time, I actually love the gown, and think she seems carefree in it. So, kudos.

She’s stunning. I love her style lately, but for some reason she will never be good enough for y people She did manage to upstage Kate, whose style, on the other hand, I start to dislike now. Predictable, predictable, predictable… :/

I love this dress, but as always with blake, there are just so many little things that are off. For example, it would have been much better had she resisted the urge to have most of her right boob esentially spilling over the dress, had she gone for complementary earrings, her flower ones almsot gave me a heart attack, had she posed better for this dress, adn th ehair. I do appreciate that she isn’t going for her ‘beachy/bedhead/olsen’ hair, but this style really does not work for me, as always with blake. A more polished but still messy grecian bun, that sat slightly higher on the head (the picture of her from behind irritated me so much, the nape of the neck, the posture…..), had it jsut been better for the dress. Also, I wish she’d never dyed her hair becuase the colour now is just a tad yellow for me. Also, I jsut think that this dress could have been incredible on someone, in fact I see it being stunningly, amazing breathtaking on Leighton Meester, that I am slightly heartbroken that she now will never, probably/definitely wear it .

Oh give her a break there is no way some of you are saying that “she has no class”, hell, she poses, walks, stands, and everything in the red carpet better than anyone i can think of, this is a dress that easily could have outworn her, but she managed to look amazing, i think some of you labeled her with no reason, she always looks amazing, and mean who looks like that with apparently no make up. It’s part of her looking like this surfer summer girl, dresses AMAZIng…. but well, :/ whatever, i really think she looks breathtaking.

She is so pretty, but so often there is just something trashy about her presentation. For me, this dress is too much like lingerie and in the side pose it is clearly intended to look like she is nude underneath. I can see that there is a slip or under skirt there in another photo, but to effect is still there. I don’t really think it is appropriate for the occasion, in the same way that JLo really didn’t need to show her midriff or wear a dress that shows every muscle in her fabulous derriere. We all know these women are sexy–a little more tasteful self presentation at this event would have been better in my opinion.

This is truly horrible….I hate to say this, but she looks like a cheap middle aged Palm Springs maid, or trophy wife…what ever happened to being fresh faced at 23 ? She looks older than girls in their thirties…like Diane Kruger ! She looks like her older sister !

blake is so goddess like here! the dress is gorgeous (marchesa appears inspired by an indian saree no?) and blake’s summer (though probably faux) tan looks great with it! she is always so confident and interesting to watch on the red carpet. i cant understand why she has so many HATERS though!

she looks so amazing. love my girl blake stunning as always.
i dont know why people judge her to harsh.!
if you dont have nothing nice to say then keep it to yourself.
no matter what she wears and no matter how perfect she looks people will always say mean things about her.!

you got on JLo’s case for the tightness and the cutout, so I’m surprised you’re not on Blake’s for such a sheer dress. Speaking of JLo, this brought to mind her 2003 Academy awards gown, though when I went to look for it, I guess it doesn’t look quite as much like it as I thought.

1. reminds me of something she wore recently. 2. too ill fitted – even for a kaftan. 3 do i see a nude effect? 4. ages her and does not complement her figure… and whats Blake without her bod and some serious pop?
bore…
